To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM E; Willcox, of: Peoria, Peoria county, and. T; H. WILLs, of Boards: town, Cass cou ty, Illinois, have invented new and improved Anti; riction Rollers Revolving Inside of lCylinders for Car-Axle Boxes; and4 we do herebydeclare the following to be an exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters-of referencemarked thereon, makinga part of 'this specification, in whichders, rsne.rs,1 and box.

Figure 2, a.. top view of the saine.-

Figures 3 and 4 rep1'esent the end rings of the anti-4 friction rollers, either single or divided in sections.

Figure 5, the end ring or plate, with its connecting-4 rods. lThe nature of or invention consists inthe construction, arrangement, and combination of the cylinders above the car-axle, having anti-friction rollers on .the

y inside of the cylinders, and revolving on sectional c ir ing Ahollow cylinders C above, having anti-friction'roll cular plates at each end.- x

The object of our invent-ionis to lessen "friet-ion -by arranging two cylinders that are hollow cylinders with stationary axles, having anti-f`rietion rollers between the stationary axles and the cylinders, and the cylinders and rollers revolving around thestationa'ry axles, and above the` car-axle or journal of the caraxle, enabling the car-axle to run more freely,'an d for street-railway ears especially, as the draught of the Fzur 1 represents an end vieiv of the arde, cylin-4 -horses islessened, and the cars are started witlrperfeet ease.

A represents the car-axle box.

lB, the car-axle or journal of the axle.

C, the hollow cylinders. D D, thel stationary axles, with the anti-friction` rollers E E revolving around the axles D D, and inside. ofthe revolving cylinders O C.

The rollers E 'E revolve on their Journals in circular plates or sectional rings F F, as shown at tig. 4, but the rollers may revolve with solid, instead of sectionall rings F, as shown at iig. 5.

The, connecting-rods G' are riveted to the rings F on' each side of the rollers E E, as shown at fig. 5.

H H are bevelled washers'revolving at each-end of the i cylinders, -to assist the free movement of the cylinders and keep'the rollers- E 'to their places, toprevent them sliding to either side. l What We claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the car-axle -B with the revolv-i ers E on the inside, revolving on sectional rings F `around the stationary axles D, with'bevelled washers 1I at the ends','wl1en arranged and operating as herein described and for the purposes set forth.
